The wet towel was still in Shi Qinghai's hand. Look at the man with his mouth open. Prepare for a desperate scolding. He slipped the towel straight inside. He shoved it too hard. The corners of the man's lips were torn. Blood flowed down the corners of his lips that had been soaked in white flesh.

With the direction of the waves. The fishing raft is not towed by the connecting valve. It started moving. Shi Qinghai no longer cares about being tied to the fish steak. Desperately struggling men. Tighten the travel backpack on your body. Walked out of the hut. Take a light leap. landed on another fishing row. Only the left leg paused slightly.

He turned. I watched the fishing raft in front of me slowly drift away into the distance on the black sea. Listen to faintly muffled voices and struggles. Shrugged. Hands up. Wave goodbye to the guy.

The two operations led to some useful intelligence clues. Although there is no way to directly point to Medellín. But Shi Qinghai knew that what he could do had been done. He made three copies of the information he had obtained. Sent to three people each. An e-mail was sent to the Capital Territory Daily, which is known for its liberal overtones. An email he sent to the Capital District Prosecutor's Office. The last one he sent to Xu Le.

Two important subordinates hiding in the dark disappeared one after another. The office of the Medellín parliamentarian is sure to attract a considerable amount of attention. And then quietly pounced on it as it had done in previous months. Cut off a slice of meat in Medellín with a knife. This action is pleasant, but it is difficult to repeat.

Shi Qinghai knew the fishing raft that was gradually moving away. It should be my last action. He narrowed his eyes. What he had to do had been done. It's up to the federal government and the big guys to react.

Jump from one fishing row to another. Walk in the direction of landing. He hummed a tune softly. Forget about the ground injury on the leg. I just feel very happy. The travel backpack on the back swayed and swayed. Wear it with a large floral shirt and beach pants. And the pair that just put on. Sneakers stained with seawater. It makes him look like a backpacker who loves the sea view at night.

He's just a tourist. The Avengers who walk in the night. Tens of billions of people in the Federation have been touched by Medellín. All trust that person. There are people in the federation who support Medellín. There are also his collaborators in the Seven Great Families. The people of the four states around the mountains loved him wildly. Compare with this politician. He's so small.

But Shi Qinghai insisted. Because he knew that Xu Le must be insisting on doing something. Although neither of them knew each other's plans. But they just need to know that someone is coming. They won't feel alone.

Sneakers on rough sand. Shi Qinghai looked at the wide sea. I feel a little overwhelmed. He didn't know what he had investigated. Can you bring down Medellín? After a moment of silence. He pulls a brand new phone out of his travel backpack. Pull out a number that comes to mind.

"Hello. This is the Nelson Dry Goods Store. How can you help?" a deep, deep voice came from the other end of the line. It was late at night. The man didn't seem to be surprised or bored.

Shi Qinghai said into the phone: "I have some professional needs. ”

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the line. Said cautiously: "Which regular customer introduced you?"

Shi Qinghai said a name. There are two intelligence networks, the FBI and the ** Army. He was before he became a wanted man. I have a lot of useful information. For example, the Black Gun Merchant called the Nelson Dry Goods Center.

Shi Qinghai stood under the sea cliff. Carrying a bag. "I want a gun." A big gun. ”

I worked sleepless for two days and three nights in Hong Kong. Although I made up for it afterwards. But after a war with the bodyguard of the Lin family. and then run thousands of miles overnight. Xu Le is not an iron man after all. fell asleep beside Zou Yu's bed.

Wake up in the morning light. He stretched his somewhat sour body. I don't want to alarm the mother and son who are sleeping sweetly on the bed. Quietly walked out of the hospital room. But I saw two orderlies with solemn expressions guarding outside.

Xu Le's gaze fell keenly on the pistols pinned to the waists of the two soldiers. My heart moved slightly.

There is power when there is a gun. The bigger the gun, the more powerful it is.

Xu Le has seen a lot of arrogant roles in the Federation in the past two years. Especially the second-generation children of the Seven Families. It flashed in front of him like a slide and then disappeared. The side of these children of the family. They often bring powerful bodyguards who are like carved out of a mold. For example, Brother Zeng. For example, Uncle Kong.

But what impressed him the most. On the contrary, it is still the Zou brothers and sisters at the door of the nightclub in Linhaizhou. Although the Zou family is definitely not as powerful as those real families. At that time, Zou Yingxing was only the logistics director of the Federal Ministry of Defense. can be such a pair of brothers and sisters. With plainclothes soldiers by his side. Dare to shoot in the street. It's really violent.

This is probably the seven families going deep into every corner of society. But there are still certain rules that must be followed. Playing a low-key role in public for real reasons---- the Union's military has always been firmly in the hands of the government.

The two soldiers guarding the door did not squint. It's like I didn't see Xu Le go out at all. Xu Le rubbed his head. There was a hint of doubt. Although Zou Yu's father is a popular candidate for defense minister in the next cabinet. Yet she gave birth to children. It is impossible to be qualified to have two active-duty military personnel stand guard.

This is the Army General Hospital. Military personnel are common. But the capital's news media has always been pervasive. Spicy and merciless. If this is reported. Vice Minister Zou will have a lot more pressure on him. With the political wisdom of the other side. It should not fail to notice this.

"Wake up, let's go eat breakfast first." ”

A middle-aged woman stepped out from behind the orderly. Holding a portable automatic heating box in his hand. The marks of time in the corners of the eyes are very clear. But the maintenance is good. I can't tell how old I am.

Xu Le was slightly stunned. looked at the traces in this aunt's facial features that seemed to be distinguishable. I immediately guessed who the other party was. It's just that I didn't expect the other party to talk to me in such an amiable tone. Hurriedly took the things in her hand. He bowed his head and said, "Auntie, morning." ”

"Ma'am. The general was waiting to see him. A soldier next to him reminded in a low voice.

"I said I'd have breakfast. He had just returned from a foreign country. I'm afraid I haven't eaten for a long time. The lady looked at the orderly in embarrassment. Said softly.

Only then did Xu Le understand why there were two orderly soldiers standing at the door of the ward.

This breakfast was not very comfortable. Zou Yu's mother's smile was very sincere. But it was this sincerity that made him a little flustered. It seems that the Zou family is in addition to the scheming minister general. Whether it's Zou Yu or this lady. all regard Xu Le as a real son-in-law or brother-in-law.

After meeting Vice Minister Zou at the Galaxy Cemetery. The Zou family seems to have taken a light look at Zou Yu's unexpected pregnancy. Even after Zou Yu moved home. Her mother still chattered a lot. Why didn't Xu Le come to the door? It's not the kind of thinking with resentment. It's the curious kind. See you today. This minister's wife was really completely different from Xu Le's imagination. It's more like the kind of housewife you would find in small towns.

While Zou Yu's mother was going to run errands. Xu Le wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. looked at Zou Yu and smiled bitterly.

Drifting Fire is still asleep. Zou Yu was half-leaning on the hospital bed. Drinking porridge without any expression. said: "My mother joined the army at the age of sixteen. I have been working in the final assembly base. Logistics. Medical. Hygiene. I've done everything. Anyway, I kept moving with my father. I have developed such a character. I guess I went to talk to some old colleague at this time. She seems to have a few old friends who are directors of the general hospital. She didn't want to think about it either. If it weren't for my father becoming this official. Those people who will ignore her. ”

This sentence is not true. Xu Le's eyes narrowed. I was about to educate Zou Yu like in the apartment. Suddenly, I thought that the other party had just given birth. The mood is a sensitive period. It's not good to train her to be depressed after pregnancy. He put the finished lunch box in the bathroom attached to the ward. Said hello to Zou Yu. He left with the two orderlies who had been guarding him.

At this moment. He would rather face the deputy minister of defense who was so powerful that he didn't know how to clean up his own. I don't want to face the wife of the minister who is passionate and sees herself as a real son-in-law.

The two orderlies. It's like escorting a prisoner. took Xu Le and got into a military vehicle. Drove away from the Army General Hospital. The military vehicle did not drive long. He stopped in front of a hotel building that was separate from the depths of the forest garden.

Yunhou Hotel. A special reception hall for the federal military. For countless years. It is not known how many war orders there were. It came from the conference room here. Shade of green trees and a cool morning breeze. Let the summer of the capital also be a little timid around this hotel. Xu Le stood in front of the hotel. I couldn't help but squint my eyes. I don't understand why Vice Minister Zou is here to see him.

"A joint meeting of the Chiefs of Staff is being held recently. The chief did not have time to leave the hotel. An orderly probably guessed Xu Le's doubts. Explained.

The Joint Chiefs of Staff is the federal government's key body for overall planning of military-related issues. Nominally under the Ministry of Defense. In reality, however, the chairman of the joint meeting is personally appointed by the president. Today, the chairman of this session is the commander of the First Military Region. Admiral Miles.

It seems that the federal government has been preparing something lately. It's just not clear that it's aimed at the ** army in the mountains. Or against the increasingly hard-line posture on the Empire's side. Xu Le narrowed his eyes. Under the leadership of the orderly. Entered the annex building of the Yunhou Hotel. Came to the door of a room.

"Report the chief. People have been brought. ”

"Come in. ”

The heavy solid wood door slowly opened. A heavy red carpet spreads underfoot. A secretary-like officer in civilian clothes. smiled at Xu Le. And they led him in. Then he closed the wooden door.

A general's uniform was casually rested on the table. There are two Venus stars shining secretly. Zou Yingxing wearing an ordinary white shirt. Sit on an old-fashioned sofa in pale earth color. Wearing a pair of glasses, he is carefully looking at a document.
